Chapter 245: Split into Two Groups (Update 3)

After Xuanmiao finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the bow to discuss the next attack with everyone.

Xue Shao stood at the stern for a long time without moving. Xi Jin whispered, "Master, if we don't go back to save them, will they misunderstand that we have abandoned them?"

Xue Shao: "...You seem to understand quite well."

He was really worried about this, but only for a moment.

Now that they are safe, everything is fine. Now they are the ones who are unsafe.

The two talismans in the air burned out, the special fireworks disappeared, and the gray talisman paper turned into ashes and slowly fell down.

There was a rustling sound in the woods, and everyone turned their heads to look, and saw Zhang Weiqin leading the way, with disheveled hair, dirty and torn clothes, looking very miserable;

The two people behind him were holding one person's shoulders, half supporting and half dragging him. When they walked out of the woods, they saw so many people here, especially Zhang Weiliang standing in the front. Several of them were about to cry, "Brother Weiliang, we finally found you."

The two junior brothers dropped the people on their shoulders and ran towards Zhang Weiliang.

Zhang Weiliang immediately dodged to the side with a look of disgust on his face, "You can get lost here, how can we expect you to kill the enemy and save people? Tell me, what can you do?"

The two junior brothers lowered their heads in shame.

Zhang Weiqin stretched out his hands to catch the two people who were about to fall, but his eyes looked at Pan Yun and his two nieces. He saw that their Taoist robes were stained with blood, but their faces were rosy and they did not look like they were injured at all. He couldn't help but guess the cultivation level of the three people.

Pan Jun looked straight over there.

Zhang Weiqin immediately lowered his eyes, handed the two people he was supporting to Zhang Ning and Li Ji, and said, "They were frightened and fainted in the illusion in the forest."

Li Ji checked and found that the two were indeed just frightened and fainted, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Pan Jun stepped forward and asked, "Are they the second generation of the underworld?"

Li Ji was stunned. "What do you mean by second generation of Jianghu?"

Pan Yun: "Just like the second generation of officials, their parents are powerful and prestigious heroes?"

Li Ji and Zhang Ning were both speechless because her description was quite apt.

As soon as Pan Jun saw their expressions, he understood that they were truly the second generation of gangsters.

Pan Yun stroked his chin and thought, "The second generation of cultivators and the second generation of martial artists are all arranged here. It seems that everyone thinks that Song Bei's team is not to be feared. Is it because Song Bei is too weak, or because the people he led are too weak?"

"It can't be because you are too powerful, right?"

Zhang Ning said, "Master Li is a second-rate expert and can definitely stop Zhu Zixun. Although I am not talented, I can still stop Hu Jing and Su Ying. With the help of the vengeful spirits, even if I can't take them down like Taoist Sanzhu, I can still delay them for a day or two."

Pan Yun: "How many people did you send to the island? Which of the Taoists went?"

Zhang Ning was silent.

Pan Yun turned around and said to Zhang Weiliang, "You go ahead."

Zhang Weiliang did not hide anything and said directly: "This time, the Jianghu Alliance, Tianshi Mansion and the imperial court joined forces to take action. There must be several thousand people there. By the way, your senior brothers and sisters are also there."

The guess came true, Pan Yun asked directly: "When did they leave?"

Zhang Ning hurriedly tried to stop him, "Master Zhang, this is confidential."

Zhang Weiliang said angrily, "She is from Longhu Mountain. We have already captured Song Bei personally. Are we still afraid that she will reveal it? Who among those present can beat her?"

Pan Yun: "Thank you for the compliment."

Zhang Weiliang's face darkened and he said unhappily, "I didn't praise you, so don't be too proud. In terms of talent, the eldest brother is still the best. Even if you are good, you are still far behind the eldest brother."

Pan Jun continued to ask: "When did they set out?"

"Tonight," Zhang Weiliang said, "Because someone will come to pick them up tonight, we plan to go to the island from another sea route and stagger with their team. After we take the island, we will wait for them to tire themselves out. So we need to delay them for one to two days."

By delaying Song Bei, they were also delaying the team that came to the island to pick them up.

Pan Yun nodded: "Then I understand. In this case, let's collect the remains here for the next two days. Have you prepared some dry food?"

Zhang Weiliang was silent.

"Very good, you didn't," Pan Jun turned and asked Ashin, "What about you?"

Ashin: "We prepared for a whole day."

Pan Yun: "That's fine. A lot of people died. You captured pirates will have your daily rations reduced by half. The Japanese pirates have nothing to eat. Clean your stomachs. That's it."

This way, one day's dry food is enough for two days.

In order to prevent the Qingyi Guards from becoming dissatisfied and causing chaos, even though Ah Xin assured them that their family members were on the island and would not run away, Pan Yun did not believe it.

If she judges others by herself, she will definitely run away.

Instead of pinning her hopes on others, she would definitely believe in herself more, so she would definitely find a way to escape when she could.

So she praised Ashin for his promise, then tied them all up, saying, "It's not that I don't trust you, but this way we can both be at ease. I'm not worried that you will run away, and I will treat you sincerely. Your life will be better, and except for your hands and feet being tied, you will be at peace."

The Green Guards: ...

Song Bei sneered, but he couldn't say anything. In order to prevent him from misleading people again, Pan Yun blocked his mouth tightly, leaving him absolutely no chance to speak.

The same goes for the other Gray Guards.

Without the intrusion of evil spirits, they felt much more comfortable spending the night on this path, and the spiritual light also made it look very beautiful.

Pan Yun, Miao Zhen and Miao He sat together. The three of them checked each other's injuries, took out medicine to bandage them, and then poured out a pill and swallowed it to start meditating. Zhang Weiliang sat by the fire not far away, hesitant to speak.

Pan Jun felt that his face was too noisy, so she opened her eyes and looked at him, "If you have something to say, just say it."

"This can be considered as one of your study tour assignments. Are you really not going to announce your names?"

Pan Yun: "No."

Zhang Weiliang looked at her suspiciously, "How much trouble have you gotten yourself into by using this fake name?"

Pan Jun: "You're overthinking it. We didn't get into trouble. Besides, who made the rule? If we use another name, it won't count as our study abroad homework?"

She said, "Is there something wrong with my number Sanzhu?"

Miao Zhen: "I gave myself a nickname, Si Shui."

Miaohe: "It's called the Five Fires."

As a Taoist priest, you would be embarrassed to say that you are practicing Taoism if you don’t have two or three nicknames.

Do you really think they chose the number simply to change their name?
Of course, in addition to using the trumpet to express one's aspirations, it also means avoiding enemies and practicing a few more trumpets.

As a Taoist priest, naturally he wants to become famous. If this account doesn't work, then he can change it.

This account has offended too many enemies, so I'll train a small account. When my ability improves and I can defeat anyone who comes to seek revenge, I'll announce it to the world. All these small accounts are me.

Of course, some unnecessary small numbers do not need to be included.

The more Pan Yun thought about it, the more confident he felt. He said, "After this is over, I will ask the Jianghu Alliance, the Tianshi Mansion, and the imperial court to stamp their seals on my behalf."

Zhang Weiliang: …

Seeing that they were chatting animatedly, Zhang Weiqin took out a water bag and handed it to Zhang Weiliang, "Weiliang, drink some water."

Zhang Weiliang frowned, took the water bag, uncorked and drank.

Zhang Weiqin said honestly, "Junior Sister Pan, have you forgiven us?"

The water in Zhang Weiliang's mouth spurted out and he started coughing violently.

Pan Yun glanced at him and said, "You guys? I have never been angry with you, don't worry."

Zhang Weiliang stopped coughing for a while, "You treated me like that, you got stuck in the mud, and you scared me back with a female ghost, and you actually said you're not angry with me?"

"Didn't I retaliate right away?" Pan Yun said, "It's not worth getting angry with a fool."

Zhang Weiliang stood up with a bang, his chest heaving with anger, "Who are you calling a fool?"

Pan Yun glanced at Zhang Weiqin and then smiled at Zhang Weiliang and said, "You."

"You know that the other party has bad intentions, but you don't want to stop the loss in time, and you still hesitate and think about the old relationship. What else can you do but be a fool?"

Zhang Weiqin almost couldn't maintain the honest smile on his face.

Pan Jun gave him a provocative look. Who doesn't know how to sow discord?

After knowing that Pan Yun had seen through his plan, Zhang Weiqin quietly withdrew and no longer joined in the conversation.

Zhang Weiliang sat down silently holding the water bag. After a long while, he said, "They all say that I am overbearing and willful. I think you are much more overbearing and willful than me. When you are willful, you really don't care about people's lives."

Pan Yun opened his eyes again, "Isn't it that the purpose of practicing Taoism is to be spontaneous?"

Zhang Weiliang: "But people cannot avoid the ways of the world."

Pan Yun sneered, "It is because of human relationships that you offended me and brought yourself to this point."

"Ask yourself, if you were to act on impulse, would you mind if I moved into Fengqiyuan? Would you do so many stupid things to stop me from moving in? Would you make one mistake after another and be led to this point today?"

Pan Yun said: "Because you are worldly-wise, you weigh the pros and cons, and you fight for power and profit, so one person's Dantian was destroyed, two people's skills were destroyed, one became a fool, and another had to lie in bed for three months after having his bones fixed."

"You are a Taoist priest, not an official. Why do you have to care about social etiquette?"

Zhang Weiliang opened his mouth, but could not speak.

"You have gone astray in your practice of Taoism. I think you should start over." After saying that, Pan Yun ignored him and closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.

Zhang Weiliang returned to his fire silently and was depressed all night.

On the second day, before dawn, Pan Yun woke everyone up and asked them to collect the bodies.

These people cannot be allowed to rest too much or be too idle, as accidents are likely to happen if they are idle.

Pan Yun not only asked them to collect all the corpses exposed to the sky, but also asked them to dig two large corpse pits and rebury the bodies inside.

Because the graves were not counted clearly during the burial, a group of unhappy people might have been buried together, so their resentful spirits also appeared this time, and they strongly demanded that the graves be relocated.

Since they were going to delay time anyway, Pan Yun happily agreed to their request.

After the corpse pit was dug up, there were a few spirits who were willing to be buried together, so everyone buried them together. The others were all buried separately, one corpse in one grave. Except for the fact that they lived in a more crowded place, they were absolutely single households.

Two days later, looking at the woods on both sides, they were filled with graves, and most of them were new graves.

　good night
